Anyone running Audition on Asus UL20 or UL30?

Hi folks,
apologies if this is a newbie q thats already answered, could not locate this in discussions or forums (btw, seems weird to have two separate areas called discussions and forums..). Also, I've posted before but for some reason I could log into adobe (it knew my name) but had to create a new screenname.
So I'm using the oldie CS3 on my Dell XPS M1210 which is ancient but a great workhorse - I occasionally mix/burn CD's in Audition and its quite stable and good enough for an old laptop with a 7200 rpm drive.
I'm debating getting a new, but light laptop with good battery life - I'm worried that some of the ultra low voltage ULV type laptops would be too slow or have issues running audition, are there folks who have experience with this? I searched forums high and low and reviews but couldn't find much info
My top picks are
1) Asus UL20 - this is the 12", very portable! 1.3Ghz intel SU7300 duo 4Gb DDR2, 5400 rpm drive (weak). Needs external DVD drive. 7 hr battery
2) Asus UL30 - 13", 1.3Ghz intel SU7300 duo, 4GB DDR3, 5400 rpm drive but has option to switch to nvidia gpu. Needs external DVD drive. 12 hr battery!
3) thinkpad x201 - get the 12" top of the line with 130GB SSD and it would be sweet but much pricier. Amazingly light but quite ugly imo. But CS would be screaming fast on this.
I love (1) for portablity and would go with this if audition performance isn't much worse than my Dell m1210.
Are there folks out there running CS on these UL laptops? Would love to hear your input. Thanks

I would love to see a full report.
I've always loved Thinkpads and lately downmarket Lenovo's as my workhorse machines. It's how audio of any sort works with the OS - is it Win7 64-bit? - that is the question.
In testing much lower quality machines, one a Lenovo G550, with external usb audio, I've found two main issues. The first, much more serious, only applies to the Acer AMD-based machine and usb1 audio interfaces, but both machines have a problem with slight audio dropouts or glitches when running Windows 7 audio with the wireless networking enabled. The AMD-based machine was fine running XP or even Vista, but glitches on both 32 and 64-bit Win 7 with wi-fi.
The Lenovo was running "Mint" Linux when I got it and I don't remember any glitching, but did no serious tests and installed no external cards. With the on-board audio under Win 7 it seems OK, but with any usb interface I have, the wifi has to be off for serious audio.
In discussions on the Microsoft technical forums, it appears that there is general acceptance that where usb and audio devices share unchangeable interrupts, the wireless has to be off for audio. This only seems to have become set in stone since Win 7 and seems to me to be ridiculous and completely unacceptable.
Incidentally, both these current generation machines of mine exhibit my old bete-noire of play 1kHz tone through the internal sound and speakers, turn the volume up to a loudish but not unreasonable level and the tone plays with huge gaps. Turn the volume down and it becomes OK. (NB beware of trying this for long periods, I had two mainboard failures in the past that might have been related to the test).
Please don't read this as negative. There are workarounds even on my cheap machines, but I would genuinely like to know if similar events take place on better laptops.

Running Audition 3.0 on Win7, alternating between BootCamp on Mac and Parallels cause re-activation

Can anyone or Adobe themselves give an explanation as to how Audition 3.0 (and perhaps Audition CS5.5) verifies the machine hardware that it is running on to ensure that the purchased software license is not being installed on multiple machines?
I ask because it would appear that Audition 3.0 (at least) views its installation on the same single Windows 7 image as being 2 separate PCs if the same Windows 7 is booted into parallels and then at others times into BootCamp.
Yes, yes I know I can get Audition CS5.5 natively for the Mac, but for now I wish to run Audition in Windows. So please avoid discussions on this and instead offer me some advice as to why/how Audition reads the hardware it is running on.
The problem:
- I boot into BootCamp Windows, Audition 3.0 runs OK.
- Boot into MacOS, run same BootCamp VM Windows from parallels, run Audition 3.0, it runs asking for registratation. Registration succeeds.
- Boot into BootCamp Windows, Audition 3.0 runs runs asking for registratation. Registration succeeds.
And so on...
If I stick with one mode of running Windows, i.e. BootCamp OR via Parallels, Audition doesn't ask again, however, switching between the two triggers the re-registration.
Using the same VM/Windows install image/drive.
But I guess what is happening here is that the (virtual) "hardware" profile/signature/id presented to Windows/and 3rd-party applications, is different in BootCamp and Parallels and that applications such as Audition use this for authentication/registration to prove that the license is only running on the same hardware.
An ideal solution is that Parallels complies with the same hardware profile that BootCamp presents to Windows and 3rd party applications so that both Parallels and BootCamp are wholly seen as the same machine.
I've raised a support ticket with Parallels themselves.
I've posted on Parallels forum thread: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=103398
awaiting moderation
But I also think Adobe could be a bit smarter as to how they detect that their software is running on the same machine that it is licensed for.

I think it's very, very unlikely that you'll get an answer to this. Simply because to answer it is an out-and-out invitation to hackers. All I can tell you is that each copy of Audition will allow two installations, but only on different hardware, and that you aren't strictly allowed to use them concurrently. The intention is that you can have one install on a desktop, and another on a laptop. Any conjecture that you might make about this may or may not be true - even if you guess correctly though, I doubt whether you could easily do anything about it. The only thing that Adobe are going to do is to offer to sell you another seat, I guess - that way you could have three installs. But requests for further information are almost certainly going to fall on deaf ears.

Has anyone run into the problem of downloading or opening an E.pdf file? I am running on 10.6.8 and am unable to open the file. Any suggestions?

That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

The iPhone cannot be synced. Unknown error (13019) - anyone run into this?

Stephen's got you covered.
I've also seen the following reported cause/workaround:
After several Google searches I found the iPad syncing problem to be caused by iPhoto 9.4 not handling the & correctly in names. It's not recognizing them as & which is causing problems with XML. You can manually change them or wait for Apple to issue a fix to iPhoto 9.4. I started to do the manual fix & I just have too many to change.
(Manual renaming isn't going to be an easy/good workaround for a bunch of folks, though.)

Running Audition CS6 on OS X ver 10.10.2 Installs but won't play audio

Running Audition CS6 on OS X ver 10.10.2. It installs just fine, and when I hit the space bar after installing, says it's playing on the bottom left. But it doesn't Just sits there and does nothing. Is there a known issue with 10.10.2?

The only known issue with Audition's transport not wanting to move on a correctly installed system is when it gets itself disconnected from a sound device. Initially you should go to Edit>Preferences>Audio Hardware and make sure that your (well I'm guessing slightly here as it's a Mac and I don't have one) aggregated sound device is the one selected.

Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine without problems

Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine without problems? I have over 400 GB,s free disc space (c drive) and still am getting lots of errors and program closing problems. I do not have USB3 on my machine so if I purchased a few 256 GB ssd drives would this help it from crashing?
Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Jack, as Curt has suggested, available drive space comes well down the list regards a happy experience with Photoshop. You have also asked a self-defeating question, because the fact you are running Vista, and a 32bit version at that, more or less precludes the ability to run without problems.
Windows 7 was billed as the first MS OS to need less system resources than its predecessor. If your system hardware will support 64bit, then consider paying $90 for an OS upgrade What is your system out of interest? I have a feeling you are running with just 2Gb RAM, which just isn’t enough. Post your specs or make and model, and I am sure you’ll get some help with what your mainboard will handle by way of RAM and whether it will support 64bit.

Anyone Running Aperture 3, One library with 150,000+ Photos?

Would like to now if anyone is running Aperture 3 with a very large Library? Ideally I would like to hear from anyone running one library with 150,000 images or more. I'm planning to Import just short of 200,000 images and I'm hoping it will handle it. If anyone responds I would be grateful for mac specs as well. . Thanks for your input in advance.

You'll not have any trouble with most processes on any dual-core 2GHz Mac with 4 or more GB RAM. (With only 4 GB, you shouldn't run any other programs when Aperture in running.)
Sharing Previews is a no-no (but IME it is the single biggest bog-field in the app). Load time will go up. Faces may become slow. It will take A LONG TIME (days) for Aperture to finish all its initial internal processing. Search the forum for general suggestions on keeping Aperture running well.
I built up a test library of 250,000 images just to make sure. I was able to run this Library off of an external FW400 drive (the whole Library, not just the Masters) on a 2.3 GHZ dual-core laptop w. 4 GB RAM.
I have since put together a database of 350,000+ images. It runs fine. I'd say it runs "normal" on all machines, as long as operations are kept to 100 images or so. Relocating a quarter-million Masters will take some time. Moving 10,000 images into new Projects, or moving those Projects into new Albums, can take a few minutes (but under ten).
You should set aside a week for the import and all the processing. I strongly suggest turning Faces off until the Library is structured and working (you've made most major changes and you've not stumbled across any glitches). Then you can turn Faces on and let it run in the background for a few days. I suggest NEVER turning on "Share Previews". YMMV.
My experience w. a 350,000 image Library leads me to believe that it could handle 10x that. The breakdown of the work seems to have been well-engineered to fit the currently available pipelines. But -- the faster your machine, the faster Aperture will run. Tony Gay and I compared his PowerMac with my MacBookPro for some Aperture tasks -- his was twice as fast.

I remembered we have weird permission issues at work. Somewhere between my Home Windows 8 machine(horrible permissions issues with network), my home mac, email and my work computer, some permission got out of whack. The workaround for this was copying the file to my desktop, back to the exact same spot on the network. This resolved all issues.

Is anyone running a OCZ Core SSD?

I have an inconsistency running a OCZ Core SSD with my K9A2 CF.With a regular HDD Samsung HD321KJ no problem whatsoever.
Sometimes the OCZ Core is very fast and sometimes so slow I get a freeze/hiccup for just a split second.
File copy goes sometimes with >80MB/s and sometimes with KB/s
I've made a support ticket with OCZ. It could be the drive is just faulty.

Sake also keep in mind that the SB600 is a mediocre SB. SSDs should show it's lack of performance.
Well, the OCZ NON-Core works just fine with SB600. MSI K9A2 Platinum.....

The SB600 even has higher max throughput as the MCP51...
It's not performance but occassional short freeze with the SB600 that it makes feel perform mediocre with the MLC based SSD.
So IMHO pure a matter of compatibility.

Sorry, but we're all users like you, no MSI staff here. If you want to contact MSI support about it, you'll need to open a ticket at http://ocss.msi.com.tw
I've contacted MSI. That's no help. I'd guessed that. Obviously not tested (yet) and a matter of luck that it works out of the box.

Battlefield 1942 Anthology issues... anyone run into same issues???

Alright peep's. It's that time when I look for a little insight.
I've got a stackload of PC games I said I was going to knock out when I had time. The issue I'm having is regarding Battlefield 1942. I got the boxset with all the expansions a few months back. I installed it and it went through properly. I configure the game to run with everything turned on and maxxed out, it begins to load. The issue I have then is when I try and select a spawning point, the game just locks up where I need to do a hard reset. I've got the latest update preinstalled even tried bringing down the resolution. The game actually worked once and was playable @ 1024 x 768 for about 8 minutes, then the game locked up again. I tried factory defaults and got no where. I recall reading somewhere else that some older games have issues with SLi. I just can't find that article with games listed. Is anyone running BF 1942 or has it installed without any issues with an SLi rig??? Any insight will be appreciated. I'd like to play a former game of the year on my PC and knock it out amongst my "Games to finish" list.
BTW, since I couldn't get that game to run I installed Half-Life 2. Sick friggin' game. Awesome. Knocked it out in four nights. I think I'll get the expansion when it comes out in May. I'm now playing Star Wars: Republic Commando. Not bad for a FPS but I've played better.

Two things:
1- I understand that this is a HARDWARE based messageboard. All other software and games work A-O-K. This is an exception so it would point to some sort of possible HARDWARE conflict with older SOFTWARE now, huh???
2- Thermaltake 680w with SLi connectors.
Realistcally, I'm not trying to be a smart a$$. I brought it up here because I know CoD is a popular game that many have gone through it like water. I posted because I've seen others with driver issues, software and/or OS conflicts, uncertainities, etc., and I laid out some wisdom and advice. Think I'm lying? Try reading a few boards regarding the K8N Diamond Plus, Sound Blaster XFi, video card issues, RAM questions, heck even overclocking. I'm still leaving feedback on EVGA's messageboard and I don't even own their motherboard anymore.
All in all, I'm looking for help and a solution just like everyone else. And if you don't think that me being adult enough to ask for help then please just don't post any bulletins or feedback since I guess you get things to run flawlessly and you need no help whatsoever.
And to others who actually made a positive contribution, thank you genuinely.

K8N Diamond Plus, SLI and Creative X-Fi cards, anyone running similar?

Hi there!
I've got an ASUS A8N32-SLI board and my X-Fi card does not work with it, nor does it for many other people with similar setups.
See here:

I get crackling and popping noises when running most games, e.g. BF2, Fear, FarCry. When my 2x7800GTX's are in SLI mode it crackles loads, e.g. start far cry, click options, and listen. When i disable SLI mode it crackles less, but it still crackles. Many others encounter similar issues with their systems that are not identical but the symptoms are similar - high load = crackling/popping.
My question is:
Is anyone here sucessfully running any X-Fi card (music, fatality, elite pro, etc) with 2x video cards and NO crackling/popping in BF2, FEAR and FarCry?
I've already had a replacement X-Fi card from creative which their tech guy said "should" fix it, lol, I'm wondering wether to replace my A8N32-SLI with an K8N Diamond Plus to fix the problem. Besides, the MSI board has better PCI slot location and works with nTune too unlike the ASUS board.

What's going on guys.
I hate to see peep's having soooo many prob's and it sucks major BALLZ. The reason why I'm reposting is that I encountered a new issue. Not with my rig, but a friend's.
We pretty much have the same setup. Differences are he's using 2GB of Corsair DDR400 (which is picking up as DDR333 as well), different branded video cards (I'm running two EVGA 7800GT's in SLi, he's running two BFG 7800GT's in SLi), XFi Platinum (me, Fatality Edition) and he's got a dedicated ITE RAID PCI card for his RAID from his previous rig. Configured his BIOS pretty much the same way I have it running (he wanted to Overclock his AMD x2 4400+ to 2.6 GHz), but when it came to installing Windows we kept getting BSOD's during installation. Looked over things numerous times and it didn't make sense. We resetted the BIOS to default settings and Windows went through without a hitch. We tried OC'ing it one more time and Windows was fine. But, when he installed and ran Quake 4, either Windows or the game would just lock up. He booted back into the BIOS and put the CPU back at stock frequency of 2.2 GHz. Game ran flawlessly afterwards. That points at the processor. The only differences were we both have different stock fans and his CPU was manufactured in July '05. Mine in Sept '05. His rig also reports the infamous "Phantom" PCI modem as well.
Quake 4 is the only game he's got installed so far, but he reports everything is set to their highest qualities, including resolution. He said it runs great with no anomalies. He's going to install Dawn of War and Winter Assault later I know.
Me? I haven't run into any issues with any games either, including F.E.A.R. as Hydrasworld asked. Both of our sound cards are in the Communication PCI Slot of the motherboard. My take on the OC issue is since we're using different proc's from different wafers, maybe my chip had revisions in September that the July proc my friend has didn't. Also, his heatsink has one less copper pipe I noticed. I'll still drop by for help. Good luck to you all and the only other thing I can add is try using the latest drivers for each piece of hardware you've got.
LPB
P.S. If you can and you purchased a retail version of the processor, on one of the sides of the carton insert for the processor, a date should be printed. Maybe that can explain some issues. Once more, my proc was manufactured September 15th, 2005.
